Veterinary Hospital Services
We are proud to offer high-quality veterinary care for pets of all ages. Our services include preventative treatments and programs, surgeries, diagnostics, and lab testing.
Whether your kitten needs booster shots or your senior dog needs a hospice care routine, we are here to care for your pet from birth to their golden years.
Health Examinations
Regular exams are necessary for following up on existing conditions and detecting potential issues, as well. We recommend annual checkups for healthy pets, but as they age or develop issues, we may suggest more frequent visits. Because cats and dogs are not able to tell us when they don’t feel well and cannot describe what’s wrong, it’s up to us to be proactive and do our best to keep them healthy.
Preventative Services
In the interest of taking a proactive approach to pet health, annual vaccinations are recommended beginning at age 6-9 weeks. From an early age through the senior years, preventing contagious diseases is crucial to ensure our pet’s health.
We also offer education and products for flea and heartworm prevention, as these parasites can cause very serious health issues that can be difficult and expensive to treat.
Dental Exams & Services
Good oral health is as important for animals as it is for people. Keeping your pet’s mouth and teeth healthy help maintain the rest of their overall health. Regular dental exams, cleanings, and X-rays are part of a long-term health plan.
Laser Surgeries
Our team of experienced surgeons performs routine and advanced surgical procedures as needed. These include everything from spays and neuters to complex orthopedic surgeries. Utilizing a C02 laser rather than a scalpel helps ensure pinpoint precision, quick cauterization, and a less painful healing time.
Lab Work & Diagnostics
Our in-house laboratory services allow us to accurately produce immediate results for our patients. These include everything from blood counts and electrolyte panels to urinalysis and cytology. We also offer screenings for quick identification of FeLV/FIV, parvovirus, heartworms, and other parasites.
Our digital radiographic diagnostic tools allow us to view and study a pet’s skeletal and organ structures without invasive procedures. This is often helpful when making a diagnosis.
End-of-Life Care
One of the most difficult and most loving things you can do for your pet is to recognize when it’s time to let them go. We are here to guide you through this part of their life, answer any questions you may have, and help you provide them with the best quality of life possible.
